We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

They can do that at home.
The many kids admitted to the hospital in Lubbock have severe respiratory complications from measles.
Stunning ignorance from highest health official, embarrassing really.

‘This moment is medieval’: Jackson Katz on misogyny, the manosphere – and why men must oppose Trumpism

May I suggest something radical? Have mercy on people. Even on here.

Okay, posting again this as a message to myself (but for anyone who also needs to hear it):
1. When the news makes you feel paralyzed, close the window. Take a break. You can't help if you're overwhelmed.
2. Focus on the things in your control and take ONE action. Just start w/ a small one.

The USAF has reversed itself "after uproar." We must continue to pay attention. We must continue to preserve & share the stories of the Tuskegee Airmen & the Women Airforce Service Pilots. I promised them I would always tell their stories. You can too. Knowledge is power! www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...
